Description
11~4830 ST~:~M C~ 7~
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to structural support systems, and has particular application to top-supported steam generators.
Relatively large vapor generators, such as steam ~en-eratin~ units used by utility companies, are usually hung from a frame ln order to allow for thermal expansion of their components during their operation. Such frames include upstanding members dis-posed adjacent the fron~, rear and sides of the steam generator, and a laterally extending member disposed adjacent the roof of the steam generator. A plurality of tie rods are employed to hang the steam generator from its upper extremities, being connected between the roof of the vapor generator and the laterally ex-tending frame member. A plurality of ties can also ~e used to connec-t the steam generator from its front, rear and ~ides to the upstanding frame members. When these ties are used the steam generator is spaced from the upstanding frame mem-bers, with the ties being disposed within the space therebetween.
It is to be understood that steam generators possess certaln characteristics which distinguish them from other type of large top-supported machine~, and therefore lend themselves to the use of the present invention, whereas other large devices may not be suited for such use. Steam generators are generally lar~e devices of great mass, often standing well over 150 ft.
high. Yet the boundary walls of a steam generator are rela-tively flexible members. Because of these characteristics/ top-supported steam generators have relatively low natural frequen-cies, ten~ing to react to excitation frequencie~ of 1 cycle per second or lower.
The dynamic loading toward which the present invention is directed principally takes place during earthquakes and/or sl.~ wind loading. The excitation frequencies associated with an , .
8;~
earthqua~e usually are hicJheI- than the natural frequencies of the steam ~enerator. Therefore, the steam generator tends to remain stationary, during an earthquake while its base moves.
It has been suggested to tie the s-team c3enerator rigidly to the upstanding support members in an attempt to transmit dynamic loads from the support system to the steam generator, and thereby relieve the support system of certain stresses.
Howeverl when this is done, the steam generator must be specially designed and constructed to withstand such loads which are tran.s mitted from the support system.
As an alternative it has been suggested to employ ties which are designed to disconnect or break during the initial period of response ~y the steam generator to dynamic loading by the support system/ thereby allowing the steam generator to be in a free-swinging mode. This approach vir-tually e~liminates dynamic loading of the steam generator but can result in large displacement of the steam generator rela-tive to the support system, thereby requiring that the support system be de~signed to accornmodate relatively high stresses.
~0 The present invention provides an apparatus and method for transmi-tting dynamic load from a structural support system to ~ top-supported steam generator, and for dissipating energy so as to lessen stresses on both the support system and the steam generator. The steam generator is dynamically isolated from the support system through the use oi a plurality of clampers connected therebetween. A typical top-supported steam generator has a large mass and tends to serve as a "support" to a deflected support system which tends to "lean" agAillst the steam yenerator; as a consequence, the support 3() ~:, r 33C~
system experiences relatively little deflection and s-tress while -the energy introduced to the support system during an earthquake is dissipated in the dampers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the apparatus aspect of the present invention an apparatus is provided for top-supporting a steam generator from a base, the steam genera-tor including relative-ly flexible front, side and rear walls, a roof and a floor, and having a low natural frequency. The apparatus includes a frame with a laterally extending member disposed above the steam generator and spaced vertically Erom the steam generator, and a plurality of upstanding members connected at respective upper ends to the laterally extending member and at respective lower ends to the base. Means connect the steam generator to the laterally extending member, and means connect the steam generator to the upstanding members, the la~ter means including a plurality of dampers disposed at a plurali-ty of elevations along the height of the steam genera-tor, adap-ted -to reac-t to la-teral displacement of the upstanding members and arranged to absorb forces resulting from lateral displacement of the frame. The apparatus also inclucles a plurality of springs with the dampers being arranged so that at least one of the springs is serially connected to a respective one of each of the dampers, the springs and dampers -together defining combination spring-dampers connected between -the steam generator and the ups-tanding frame members.
The spring-dampers absorb and dissipate energy transmitted during displacement of the frame toward the upstanding members such that stressing of the frame and the steam generator due to the displacement is lessened.

According to the method aspect of the present invent-ion, a method is provided for top-supporting from a base a steam generator including rela-tively flexible Eront, rear and side walls, a floor and a roof, and having a low natural frequency. The method is of the type wherein the steam generator is hung from a frame, the frame including a laterally extending member adjacent the top of the steam generator and a plurality of upstanding frame members connected between the base and said laterally extending members. The improvement relates to the steps of disposing a plurality of dampers at a plurality of elevations along the height of the steam generator, -the dampers being adapted to react to la-teral displacement of the upstanding members and located between the steam generator and the upstanding frame members. The dampers are connected between the steam generator and the upstanding frame members with connecting springs hetween the steam generator and the frame members,each of the springs being serially connected to respective ones o~ the dampers. Each spring and damper to-gether forms a combination spring~damper connected between the steam generator and the upstanding frame members, whereby the ; sprlng-dampers will absorb and dissipate energy transmitted from the frame through the upstanding members toward the steam generator such that stress of the frame and the steam generator by movement of the frame is lessened.
~RIEF DESCRIPTION OF THF DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a top-supported steam generator employing the dampers of the present invention; and ., FIG. 2 is a plan view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1, and showing the disposi~ion of the dampers of the present invention about the periphery of the steam generator.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to FIG. 1, a steam generator 10 is shown hung from a support system 12. The support system 12 includes hanger rods 14, and a frame 16. Frame 16 is made up of a plurality of upstanding members 1~ adjacent the periphery of the steam generator 10, and a laterally extending member 20 disposed above penthouse 22 of steam generator 10.
The upstanding members are defined by a network of steel girders 23, some of which extend vertically, others of which extend hori-zontally, and yet others of which extend at an angle to horizontal.
Upstanding support members 18 are secured at one end to a base 24, which can be the ground or a plat~orm, Eor example.
- The laterally extending member 20 of the frame 16 is connected to upstanding members 18 at their ends opposite from the base 24; member 20 also comprises a plurality of steel girders connected to one another, and generally defining a roof disposed over the top of the steam generator. It is to be under-stood that although the upstanding members 1~ and horizontally extending member 20 herein shown are not solid, solid members, such as reinforced concrete walls, or sheet metal walls can be employed.
Support system 12 also includes a plurality of hanger rods 1~ which are connected at first ends to laterally extending member 20 and opposite ends to roof 25 of steam gen-erator 10. A plurality of seals 27 are located adjacent the rods 14 where they penetrate the penthouse ceiling.
In the preferred embodiment there are no means for rigidly securing the steam generator to the upstanding members 18 oE frame 16; dampers 26 and springs 30 are used for flexlbly connecting steam genera-tor 10 to the upstanding members 18.
However, in some cases it may be desirable to use rigid ties with the springs and dampers of the present invention. When used, rigid ties would be properly spaced from the springs and dampers so as not to prevent these components from acting as in-tended. If desired, dampers and sprinys can be used to connect steam generator 10 to the horizontally extending member 20 of frame 16 in combination with hanger rods 14, as shown in FIG. 1.
Additionally, as also shown in FIG. 1, springs and dampers can be connected between base 28 and the underside of the steam generator, if desired.
Dampers 26 react to displacement o~ the components to which they are attached, so as to absorb energy as well as carry load transmitted between the steam generator 10 and frame 16.
In the preferred embodiment a plurality of deformable structures, preferably springs, 30 are also connected between the steam generator 10 and frame 16. Although a spring is the preferred form of deformable structure, other elastic stored-energy machine elements capable of recovering their basic form or position, can be employed. The springs absorb energy, and also affects the vibration response characteristic of the overall steam gen-erator.
: In the preferred embodiment springs 30 are serially connected to dampers 26, and combination spring-damper members : are connected between frame 16 and the steam generator 10. It i5 to be understood that the springs could be arranged in para-llel with the dampers, or some springs could be in parallel with some dampers, while other springs were serially connected to respective dampers.
3~
In operation, when frame 16 moves laterally relative to steam generator 10, for e~ample, during an earthquake or wind loading, the frame tends to dynamically load steam generator 10 through the damper assemblies, and through the sprlng assemblies when used. A portion of the dynamic load is absorbed by dampers 26, and another portion is absorbed by springs 30 when used. Dam-pers 26 react to lateral displacement o~ upstanding members 18, tending to resist the lateral movement of members 18. Since the steam generator is of relatively large mass, it acts as a "support" for the frame 16. Although some load will be imparted to steam generator 10 through the springs and dampers, the amount of load is considerably less than that which would have otherwise been transmitted, if the steam ge~erator were completely rigidly tied to frame 16. Since the dampers, springs and ste~m gen-erator absorb load from frame 16 as a result of its displace-ment, considerable energy is transmitted away from the support system. Therefore the frame 16 need not be designed to absorb the total energy associated with potential dynamic loading, and yet is not subjected to high stresses.
A latitude of modification, change and substitution is intended in the foregoing disclosure and in some instances some features of the invention will be employed without a corresponding use of other features. Accordingly, it is appropriate that the appended claims be construed broadly and in a manner consistent with the spirit and scope of the inven-tion herein.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to FIG. 1, a steam generator 10 is shown hung from a support system 12. The support system 12 includes hanger rods 14, and a frame 16. Frame 16 is made up of a plurality of upstanding members 1~ adjacent the periphery of the steam generator 10, and a laterally extending member 20 disposed above penthouse 22 of steam generator 10.
The upstanding members are defined by a network of steel girders 23, some of which extend vertically, others of which extend hori-zontally, and yet others of which extend at an angle to horizontal.
Upstanding support members 18 are secured at one end to a base 24, which can be the ground or a plat~orm, Eor example.
- The laterally extending member 20 of the frame 16 is connected to upstanding members 18 at their ends opposite from the base 24; member 20 also comprises a plurality of steel girders connected to one another, and generally defining a roof disposed over the top of the steam generator. It is to be under-stood that although the upstanding members 1~ and horizontally extending member 20 herein shown are not solid, solid members, such as reinforced concrete walls, or sheet metal walls can be employed.
Support system 12 also includes a plurality of hanger rods 1~ which are connected at first ends to laterally extending member 20 and opposite ends to roof 25 of steam gen-erator 10. A plurality of seals 27 are located adjacent the rods 14 where they penetrate the penthouse ceiling.
In the preferred embodiment there are no means for rigidly securing the steam generator to the upstanding members 18 oE frame 16; dampers 26 and springs 30 are used for flexlbly connecting steam genera-tor 10 to the upstanding members 18.
However, in some cases it may be desirable to use rigid ties with the springs and dampers of the present invention. When used, rigid ties would be properly spaced from the springs and dampers so as not to prevent these components from acting as in-tended. If desired, dampers and sprinys can be used to connect steam generator 10 to the horizontally extending member 20 of frame 16 in combination with hanger rods 14, as shown in FIG. 1.
Additionally, as also shown in FIG. 1, springs and dampers can be connected between base 28 and the underside of the steam generator, if desired.
Dampers 26 react to displacement o~ the components to which they are attached, so as to absorb energy as well as carry load transmitted between the steam generator 10 and frame 16.
In the preferred embodiment a plurality of deformable structures, preferably springs, 30 are also connected between the steam generator 10 and frame 16. Although a spring is the preferred form of deformable structure, other elastic stored-energy machine elements capable of recovering their basic form or position, can be employed. The springs absorb energy, and also affects the vibration response characteristic of the overall steam gen-erator.

In operation, when frame 16 moves laterally relative to steam generator 10, for e~ample, during an earthquake or wind loading, the frame tends to dynamically load steam generator 10 through the damper assemblies, and through the sprlng assemblies when used. A portion of the dynamic load is absorbed by dampers 26, and another portion is absorbed by springs 30 when used.
